2015 Iron Mountain Camp: Day One

The 2015 Counterpoint Tactical System Iron Mountain camp is done, and I have started my annual review of what Master Zach Whitson covered. This is the ninth annual gathering of the CTS students. Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas, and Missouri had representatives at the camp. This weekend is where CTS students learn advanced material, test their progress, and form the bonds of martial friendship.

Day one was dedicated to the Cacoy Doce Pares (CDP) curriculum needed to test for CDP first degree black belt under Master Whitson. Cacoy Doce Pares is an integral part of the CTS curriculum. At the camp, the drills that aren't included in CTS were taught. We covered single and double stick elements of Cacoy Doce Pares.
